About Friday Funding Chats
What began as an Insta Live series every Friday to accompany our Funding Opportunities Database, has grown into a full offering of support for small businesses seeking to make an environmental & social impact.
Inspired by our Funding Opportunities Database, which is packed full of grants, awards and other funding ideas, FFC dives into the variety of ways a small business can be funded - sharing stories, insight and accountability on your journey.

About The WIP
The WIP was founded by Lucy Kebbell, a former fashion stylist with 10 years experience in luxury fashion media. Lucy used several methods of fundraising to launch The WIP, initially as a membership, and now as a unique resource for impact driven founders who need to make money.
Alongside Friday Funding Chats, The WIP offers workshops, speaking, judging and facilitation services to business support organisations, local authorities, graduate services and corporate clients. We are on a mission to align the UK’s 5.6m SME’s with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
